N'kal gave a deep rumbling laugh at the boy's outburst. He shook his head though and answered after a moment. "Nope. No one would have ever guessed I would be a rider, not even my father. I think he was more shocked then I was." It was always the memory of his Impression that reminded him that good things could happen to even the most unsuspecting or even the most undeserving of people. It was something he could never convey to others properly though he seemed to have been able to get Bordtai to see it, understand or believe it was another thing of course.
He lifted a brow as he watched the boy a moment, taking note of his almost instant change in body language. He stood up and gave a little grunt, rolling his shoulders slightly. "Stop thinkin' so much about it boy. You'll ride a dragon before long, mark my words. You're still young, don't ever lose hope, and don't be discouraged." He gave Bordtai a crooked smile after saying that. "Just remember, a dragon with choose you. All you can do is pay attention in your lessons and learn, find out who you are and don't worry about anyone else. Your dragon will find you no matter where you are, sands or stands, don't matter."
Torath trumpeted his encouragement from outside. I too believe you have what a strong dragon seeks within you., Torath offered the boy quietly, his tone sincere and rumbling before falling silent again to let the humans continue their conversation. N'kal had heard the rain stop as well and when Bordtai got up he nodded and stood up as well. "You are more then welcome...and you are more then welcome to stop by any time, not something I tell most people.", he said with a look that suggested the boy should take care to know what it meant for N'kal to open his home to him. He walked to the door and opened it, looking out as if to make sure the rain had indeed stopped. Torath shifted and moved forward and curled his neck around the corner of the house, eyes swirling blue. Does he want a lift?, Torath asked, and N'kal relayed the question with a grin, knowing exactly what Torath was thinking. "Torath would like to know if you want a lift." Torath had a protective streak, and if he were to land with Bordtai on his back and see those boys again who had been picking on him he would give them such a start, just to amuse himself and to let them know Bordtai had friends. Most didn't mess with Bronze riders, unless they truly wanted trouble.
